Jiang Hua:Thank you contestant number eight.Let me ask you this.
姜華:謝謝八號參賽選手.讓我來問你一個問題.
What's more important in your career ,to make money or to be satisfied with your work?
在你的職業生涯中,是賺錢重要還是對工作感到滿意重要呢?
Sun Yan :Well,I think everyone is wondering about the same question .What is important?
孫妍:我想每個人都這個問題感到疑惑.什么是重要的?
What is more important ,making money or self-satisfaction ?
什么是更重要的,賺錢還是自我滿足?
I think both of them is important .Live to eat or eat to live?That is the question .
我認為兩方面都很重要.活著為了吃還是吃為了活呢?那就是問題的所在.
But as we raise this question ,we ignore one thing ,that making money and self-satisfaction is not contradictory .
但我們提出這個問題的時候,我們忽略了一件事情,賺錢和自我滿足之間并不矛盾.
That if I want to find a satisfying job ,that doesn't mean that I will be worrying about where my next meal comes from .
如果我想找一份令自己滿意的工作,那并不意味著我將會擔心我的下一頓飯.
No ,I think the answer is definitely no .So ,in my future career,I'd like to fulfill myself and meanwhile make lots of money .
不,我想答案絕對是否定的.所以在我以后的職業生涯中,我會在滿足自己的同時賺到大筆錢.
And if I can become a millionaire ,that's the best ,mmm,important ,that'a the best thing.
如果我能成為一個百萬富翁,那就再好不過了,那可是最好的事情.
Um,if I am faced with an exceptional case in which money making and self-satisfaction is contradictory ,then I would prefer self-satisfaction to money making because you know everyone of us only lives once.
如果我面對的是一個賺錢和自我滿足的例外情況,我會喜歡自我滿足勝過賺錢,因為你知道每個人只能活一次,
And life speeds by every minute ,every second .
而生命一分一秒地消逝,
We should not trade happiness for money .The value of our life is not measured in terms of money but in terms of our contribution to ourselves,to our familly,and to the whole society .
我們不應該拿幸福來交換金錢.生命是不能用金錢來衡量的,而是用我們對自己,對我們的國家和對整個社會的貢獻來衡量的.
So ,I hope that everyone of you share the same opinion with me.
所以,我希望你們當中的每個人和我的觀點是相同的.
Thank you.
謝謝!
